Climate change (CC) is currently considered as the most severe and devastating
environmental catastrophe facing the globe. CC is the latest environmental driver
of global environmental change causing rainfall shortage and water stress across
the globe. This chapter reports a study carried out on water grabbing as solution
for food production and water shortages in CC-stricken areas along the Pangani
River Basin (PRB) in Tanzania. Results indicated that the mean yields before water grabbing were statistically (P < 0.001) higher than yields after water
grabbing. Drivers for water grabbing include climate change and variability in
some parts of the world, human population dynamics, change of consumption
patterns, economic growth, and technological advancement. The effects of CC
and water grabbing include loss of some aquatic flora and fauna, water use
conflicts, and poor crop production. It is recommended that smallholder farmers
have to adapt to drought-resistant crops and short-term seed varieties and carry
out groundwater research and rainwater harvesting. More research should be
carried out so as to know the link between CC and the decline of rainfall and
water flow. Moreover, efforts should be made to conserve the Kilimanjaro
Mountain to restore the vanishing ice cape. |
